Switch plays and outplaying opponents is a major task for a modern goalkeeper. The game intelligence approach classifies football actions into four phases, from perception to understanding to decision making and finally to the technical execution. This drills trains all four phases!

With passion and attention to detail, we've transfered our best drills into a unique and world-class set of training programmes designed to help experienced goalkeeper coaches and ambitious club coaches.
In 2014, I first asked Peter what it would take to have all his goalkeeping experience in a unified drill and video database. Now we're finally here and fortunately, I have no idea how many thousand working hours exactly went into this project.
